Review Summary

Yes, This is a manual 85mm lens. As long as that doesn't scare you, this lens appears to be well built, is heavy, and provides crisp pictures. I bought this lens so I could add an 85mm lens to my collection, with the intent of buying a better lens later. At this point, I'm not sure that will be necessary. I really like this lens! Contrary to what some of the negative reviews say, I'm not having any issues with it so far.

I really love this lens. All the setting rings turn as smooth as butter. They are quite so using this lens for video is great as well. Its build is solid as a tank. This lens should last a life time. Photos are sharp. Would recommend to anyone.

I love this lens and have been very impressed. I love shooting in all manual setting. This is the perfect lens for shooting in manual. If you are dependent on AF you may want to pass. The lens is heavy and reminds me of the older vintage lens when I was using a 35 mm film camera. The construction and glass are solid. I am using this with my Nikon D5200. The quality is outstanding for the cost. The lens is heavy so you may want to consider using a tripod or shooting with the strap around you neck for sure. I am not disappointed at all.

Because the Mitakon Zhongyi 85mm f/2 Lens is meticulously crafted for Canon EF-mount DSLR cameras, both full-frame and APS-C-sized, it stands out as a versatile manual focus prime lens. Its robust construction features a metal lens barrel, ensuring durability and longevity, while the printed depth of field and distance scales provide photographers with precise control over focus placement. The lens's optical design, comprising 6 elements in 6 groups, delivers exceptional image quality with sharpness and clarity.
The 85mm focal length offers a short telephoto perspective, ideal for portrait photography and capturing subjects with a natural look. With an impressive f/2 maximum aperture, this lens excels in low-light conditions, allowing for selective focus and creating a beautifully shallow depth of field. This feature is particularly beneficial for isolating subjects against a softly blurred background, enhancing the artistic quality of your images.
Moreover, the inclusion of a 10-blade diaphragm contributes to the production of smooth and aesthetically pleasing bokeh, making it an excellent choice for photographers who appreciate a creamy background blur. Whether you're shooting stills or video, the Mitakon Zhongyi 85mm f/2 Lens offers a blend of performance and creative control, making it a valuable addition to any photographer's kit.
